Advice From Ivon

There was an image here and some of you responded. I appreciated your comments and left them in place. Apparently, I infringed on a copyright of a group that sells the postcard I posted. I leave you with this.

What advice can I give?

Stand firmly rooted to the Earth.

Reach and touch the sky.

Take risks.

Trust those closest to you.

Love those closest to you.

Find your voice.

Speak right.

Act right.

Apologize sincerely when it is right do so.

And wonder in awe when it is time do so.

About the rights of nature and humans.

Take care.

I am now afraid to post anything! However, being a teacher encountering the plagiarism of my students and being a business owner myself, copyright infringement is serious business, intentional or not. However, the sentiment of the previous poem post was not lost on me & reminders are always necessary!
